The Annual All-Wales Carers Assembly hosted by Carers Wales, was held on Monday 10th
February 2025. The Assembly brought together over 50 unpaid carers from across Wales, to
discuss key issues and priorities. Attendees heard from and engaged with a range of speakers,
including the Minister for Children and Social Care, Dawn Bowden MS, political
representatives and policy experts.

Carers also took part in our first manifesto creation session ahead of the 2026 Senedd elections, getting the first opportunity to help shape the
Carers Wales manifesto for the upcoming elections.

This report offers a summary of the event, including the contributions from speakers and some
of the powerful contributions shared by carers themselves. The Assembly and this report will
be used to further put unpaid carers on the map, giving voice to the experiences and policy
priorities of unpaid carers across Wales.
